Today - November 19, 2016, the country's most trusted online gadget store - Kimstore - is officially celebrating the 10th year since it started serving the needs of techy Pinoy consumers by making the most sought after devices available to them at more affordable prices.

Like many success stories of Pinoy entrepreneurs and businesses, Kimstore started with the solo effort of my good friend Ms. Kim Lato, who used to handle every single aspect of her store's operations - from taking calls to delivering products.

Fast forward to today, Kim is now managing an entire team composed of more than 50 people in various departments of Kimstore - from Logistics to Marketing, Customer Support to After-Sales Service.

Kimstore and TechPinas have been partners for almost five years now.

"I really value the trust that my loyal customers have given me through the years, Mark. Without them, Kimstore wouldn't be here. So year after year, I do my best to improve the quality of service that I give the Kimmunity," Kim told me.

Driven by this vision and mindset, Kim is definitely worthy of all the awards and accolades that she has received so far, including being hailed as a Go Negosyo Awardee, 12 Young Starpreneur Awardee, Multiply Philippines’ Best Online Store in 2011, and Boss for E-Commerce in the first ever PLDT Bozz Awards held in 2015.

As part of the month-long 10th Year Anniversary of Kimstore, Kim is offering big discounts on midrange and flagship-level devices that she currently has in her store. Additionally, her marketing team has started sharing videos of her loyal buyers, fans, and partners - including yours truly - sharing their reasons for trusting Kimstore through all these years.

Congratulations, Kim! Cheers! And here's to more successful and blessed years for Kimstore as well as our partnership!
